Anyone else excited ?

I get excited for the new releases.
I am particularly excited how the White Sox will finally bring the World Series back to Chicago in the near future.

I used to get so excited about Topps Series 1 release day. In fact, I'd make sure to take the afternoon off work. That way if I ordered a case, and it came in, I could break it. If I didn't get a case, I could go to the LCS and bust a few boxes with other guys that collect it then trade off doubles and extras to try and make sets.

Then I found vintage. Despite being on Twitter and seeing Series 1 updates and seeing them on Beckett, BO and other places, I have had no desire to bust any of it. I decided in August to move out of modern all together (I have with the exception of my Rangers PC, which I'm sorting to sell now) and make the move solely to vintage. I love that decision. Best decision I ever made as far as cards ... that and to quit busting 1990 Topps looking for the Frank Thomas NNOF card, haha.

All that said, I am anxiously waiting for the day pitchers and catchers report. I still love the game, just don't enjoy collecting the game by today's card standards. I've already taken off for Opening Day in case the Rangers are at home. If not, I'll watch them on my laptop hooked up to a smaller TV next to my big screen, and I'll be watching several other games (split screen) on my MLB.tv device which will be hooked up to the bigger TV. I absolutely love opening day. One of the best days of the year behind Christmas.

Probably the best way would be to break into the Astros offices under the cover of darkness and make off with the trophy. Much better chances than winning it on the field.

ps. Being a Reds fan myself, I know that is our best chance to get the trophy in 2018.

First card was a Cardinal ! Adam Wainwright. 2018 promises to be a good year for the Cardinals ball team and for me collecting Cardinals

I bought a pack at Wal Mart today. Got a Lance Lynn and a Molina...and a couple worthless Cubs

Randy---Brock was once a useless Cub, and he turned out ok.

Josh - I share your excitement on the Sox, 2018 will be tough, starting in 2019 it should stat to get interesting!

I opened two hobby boxes last week just for kicks and had a blast. Completed a base set and pulled a Clint Frazier SP.

The variations/parallels aren't for everybody but I absolutely love the black parallels they do each year. They really pop in hand this year. Picking up a copy of all the guys I collect.
